Early Birthday Party

The last night of our trip my parents took everyone to Farrell's ice cream parlor for dinner.  Farrell's is one of those places where birthdays are accompanied by singing and drumming, so we had to celebrate the September and October birthdays there.

While we were waiting for out table, Anthony and Felix (the classroom's traveling rabbit) tried on some funny sunglasses.  It was a LONG wait for dessert!  Anthony eagerly waited and watched other people have their celebrations, and then finally it was his time.  (We were celebrating my sister's birthday, too, but she let Anthony hog the spotlight.)  He was a little embarrassed at all the fuss, but I know he enjoyed it.  He also enjoyed his ice cream sundae.  I don't think he's ever gotten an ice cream that big before--he gets the child size at Baskin-Robbins.

Poor Richard had a bit of a melt-down.  He started off happily eating vanilla ice cream from our sundae.  Then he asked for seconds, so I gave him some.  Then he had this massive meltdown and we couldn't figure out what the problem was.  We even gave him MORE vanilla ice cream and he wouldn't stop fussing. 

Then my sister had a stroke of genius and brought him some chocolate ice cream.  And the child was happy.
